A man in Bellevue, WA, turned the tables on burglars who had broken into his house -- he stole their getaway vehicle.

Patrick Rosario, 32, was in his basement when he heard people moving around upstairs. He peeked under the basement door and saw unfamilar feet as the burglars were moving his TV. He called 911, then looked outside and saw the burglars' white van, the engine running.

Over the objections of the 911 operator, Rosario took the van and drove away. Police arrived to find that the burglars had fled on foot, leaving the loot behind.
